MY MAMA SAID THAT THERE'LL BE DAYS LIKE THIS! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!!

some days are really goddamn awful.  like today ... when I've just spent two hours writing a blog post and now I've gone and lost it!  My shitty techno skills!!

Of course, I shouldn't be saying this either because when you #sayit - you're in the creation process.  And i'm so screwed if my techno skills get any worse!

Based on my #lifeplan (see pic) ... i am a techno genius.  but today is challenging.  Today I'm struggling to #keepthefaith

Fortunately I have Sarah and #mycrew in #HBRmethod!!  

I am reminded that on a day like today I have to go back to basics and #getgrateful.  And I have so many things for which to be grateful.  James, my business, my home, my great body, my kids are healthy and super intelligent, I have powerful thoughts and I have a great lawyer ... the list is endless.

#trusttheprocess - so I KNOW - even though I have to suspend my thinking for a bit ... and just trust that the frustration I'm feeling today ... hell ... these past 3 weeks - is just part of the process.

My admin and techno skills have been an area of HUGE inattention.  I have paperwork in places where there should be none.  I've only JUST made an effort to get a much needed business tool ... INSTAGRAM!!  (cue my 13yr old son).   What took me an entire Saturday to NOT figure out - he did in a few seconds!  OMG! how did I let myself go like this?

BUT ... HBRmethod teaches to not beat myself up over this tardiness.  the only thing that matters is what i'm doing NOW.  I'm taking action now!!

so - as I would advise a client who is eg: trying to shed a good few kilos:

* don't beat yourself up.  dont be embarrassed by the extra kilos and that you've let yourself go.  Celebrate that you've finally woken from your coma and that you're taking action.

* keep the end goal in sight no matter what (for me: keep seeing my colourful files all in a neat row.  my orderly life on display)

* prepare all your meals beforehand. so that you don't fall off the tracks when you're hungry and grab junk food for convenience (for me: draw up a finely tuned 'to do list' so that when the shit hits the fan with kids, gym, dogs and life in general ... I can always consult my 'to do list' to determine how well i'm progressing OR NOT!!)

* eat five small meals every day so that you're never starving and will not need a quick fix sugar rush to assuage your flagging willpower (for me: this means taking small intervals in my busy day to deal with emails, immediate filing ... and like NOW rewriting my lost blog update and posting immediately)

* even on bad days ie: the all to common fat days ... just keep on keeping on.  get back up and continue.   it's not 'starting' over!!   fat days are just part of the journey - NOT THE END OF IT.   and when you know that ... getting up is easier (for me: when my husband craps all over me because i've missed a bill payment and now the electricity's cut or i've not put everything back in his well ordered kitchen ... then it's just part of my journey.  And right now ... I'll pay those bills and pack the coffee with the coffee and not with the dishwashing liquid).

* some days you're not going to want to train and eat healthily.   do it anyway.  just dig deep and DO IT! (for me: it's deciding that 'today I'll fasten my ass to this chair and get this shit off my desk').


*Know that these days are merely a test from the Universe and that she (and she is a SHE) wants to see how much you're prepared to #hustle in order to change your life, change yourself, manifest your dream.

even on days like today when it feels like the Universe is taking a looooonnngg nap and leaving everything up to me --- i just have to BELIEVE that she's watching my every move and feeling so proud.

even on days like today when i want to shout out 'WTF - I thought that you said you'd have my back!!!!'   ... I must #trusttheprocess and #trusther

BUT on days like today - I wish that she'd wake from her nap!

because I'm running on empty ...

Throwing spaghetti at the wall and farting against thunder ...

This is what #thehustle feels like on a good day!!!  

Do it anyway.

Day after day, month after month - #thehustle will feel like everything you're doing is to no avail.  If you're looking for that amazing job and you're sending out job application after job application after job application, and all you're getting in return are rejection letters!   Keep doing THAT!

If you're looking for Mr Right and keep going on date after date after date, bringing your A game, and all you're getting in return are toads!  Keep doing THAT!

One day ... when you're at the end of your tether and STILL doing, never giving up - the Universe will honour your efforts and that's when MAGIC happens.

But ... you have to #Hustle and #nevergiveup.  keep on throwing spaghetti and farting against thunder.

The Universe has your back when you keep #thehustle strong!!  

Law of Attraction with a twist - #ManifestingMagic

I meditate because I breathe because I meditate because I breathe ...

One morning - not long after I started the #HBR bootcamp, I was doing my morning meditation when I had this powerful thought about how I could manifest the coolest thing on my #FutureBoard.  The picture of Adriana Lima boxing! 

In the past I'd contributed to articles in various magazines ... and I had the fabulous idea of contacting Fight Club SA and suggesting a mutually beneficial agreement.  Wild horses couldn't have stopped me from writing an email to Fight Club immediately!  This is what Sarah Centrella calls #TheHustle. The action we have to take to make things happen.  

I had already decided that I'll be documenting this journey for publication in magazines and, through this process of achieving my goals from my #FutureBoard, I'd be representing the phenomenal results from doing a boxing bootcamp too.  To my incredible surprise Rudi at Fight Club SA said 'yes' to my proposal.  

So this week has been powerful beyond measure!!  #TheHustle is hard.  Taking action to make our dreams a reality IS HARD!!  Creating a dream life is not for sissies.  

My #hustle this week ... 

Law of Attraction with a twist! The best way to predict the future is to create it - Abe Lincoln

this bootcamp ... like most ... leaves one gasping for air!

Not only has this #HBRmethod galvanised my operating system, it has triggered a re-invention of who I am.

when she promised me a butt-kicking out of my lethargy and fear that I was no longer a magnetising force - Sarah Centrella failed to emphasise just how much this process would catapult one into complete obsession with taking ACTION!!

through weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... you're forced to uncover the bits of you forgotten or otherwise not even known.

I've always worked with a Vision Board - most of us interested in self development have come across the practice of cutting out pictures, sticking them on a board and visualising these scenes as often as possible, whilst at the same time generating the FEELING of living those scenes in the now.

Sarah says that I should change the term Vision Board to #FutureBoard ... because these boards accurately help us to create our future.   she says words mean something.   I agree with Sarah.  so #FutureBoard it is.

I've had Adriana Lima doing a fantastic 'boxer chick' shoot, on my #FutureBoard since around last year June.  I'm obsessed with all things Adriana Lima:

Let #TheHustle begin

 I live my life based on the principles of the LAW OF ATTRACTION!  Well ... we all do - most of us just don't know it or/nor take the time and effort to use this law deliberately.

I've had many many many watershed moments in my short life.  Along this earthly journey, I've had #earthquakemoments #epiphanies #mindblowingmiracles #dreamscometrue 

When I first discovered the magic of LOA - I used it to change my financial situation.   My career took off at an unprecedented speed and I was able to change the direction of it almost instantly, miraculously climb to a pinnacle, with a salary that left those who had been in that particular industry - green with envy (see later a #ChangeYourCrew action I've learned doing a #HBRMethod Bootcamp with Sarah Centrella).   

With my career on the rise, financial stability and being inundated with dates ... as a single mom, I thought that this was what I wanted.  After all, it's all the stability and security I visualised and prayed for.  

But not ...

The place that I thought I wanted to be at, didn't FEEL so great once I got there.   I was alone with my darling son and no real friends or family.   Fortunately, instead of climbing the ladder up against the wrong tree, I used the LAW OF ATTRACTION to manifest a different life.   

One where family ruled the centre of my universe!   

My life for the past 5 years has been dedicated to growing this wonderful and precious family that I have.  

NOW my base is right.  NOW it feels exceptionally wonderful.   I LOVE where I am.   I LOVE what I do.  And I wouldn't trade what I have now for anything else in this world #gratitudebeyondmeasure #lovemylife.

AND I want more.   I've still been working with LAW OF ATTRACTION to manifest another career #writearticles #writeabestseller #becauseI'mawriter, financial freedom, to be ageless and look just like Adriana Lima #mystarattraction. 

Even with ALL the wonderful success in my personal life #lovingrelationships #familyfirst #coolkids #sexiesthusbandintheworld #spoiltrotten #alllovedup ... I was fearful.

Fearful because LOA didn't seem to be working for me any more :(.  Had I run out of #magicdust #mycupisempty?  

I've managed to start and stop, start and stop pursuing my passion of writing by contributing to magazine articles, writing a short e-book and writing tidbits for my webpage.  But this wastn't taking off the way I was visualizing.  I was at a low point with this career thing.  I honestly didn't know what else to do.   I was engulfed in apathy, lethargy and fear.

Along came Sarah Centrella with her #Hustle. Believe, Receive method.  LAW OF ATTRACTION with some elbow grease HUSTLE mixed right in there.   

Participating in her #HBRMethod has completely revamped and energised my ideas about LOA.  I've been a part of this bootcamp for 4 weeks now AND MY STORIES ARE MINDBLOWING ALREADY!!
